Lars Winnerbäck - Dom Tomma Stegen
Det drar en skugga utmed murarna i kvll
Den r sval och frtegen
Du har sett den i gonvrn frr
nr du vandrat dom tomma stegen
Du har sett den passera
och gra natten s mrklig
Du vet att verkligheten
r inte alltid s verklig
Jag sg en man ligga och d p en bnk en natt
det var inte mycket att gra
Hans vn sa: Jesus tar hand om dig nu
men han kunde varken se eller hra
Mnen blnkte i fjrden
nordens renaste vatten
Man la en filt ver kroppen
sen gick vi sakta hemt i natten
Har du vandrat dom tomma stegen
utmed orons kanaler
Har du kastat ngra stenar i djupet
och sett dom singla ner i spiraler
Det r lst vid grinden
till den de stranden
Det str en vakt vid porten
han har ftt blod p tanden
Jag knner en som sett mer n dom flestaLars Winnerbäck - Dom Tomma Stegen - http://motolyrics.com/lars-winnerback/dom-tomma-stegen-lyrics-english-translation.html
en som aldrig sett vad han har hr
Han sger att han vart i helvetet och vnt
Jag tror en del av honom blev kvar dr
nu str han utanfr vrlden
Genomskdad och bitter
Han gr dom tomma stegen
under fglarnas glada kvitter
Dom fann en kropp nere vid vattnet idag
den mste legat dr hela natten
Kulhl tvrs genom brstet
lungorna fyllda med vatten
Fick ngon tyst p dnet
Var det vrt besvret
Du knner skulden och skammen
fast du aldrig hll i gevret
Jag tror p duvan som vet vart den ska
Jag tror p godhet och bttring
Jag r en barkbt
Som driver mellan grenar och stenar
och en nattfjril r min besttning
Inga vakter vid porten
Inga hngls i grinden
Bara rsten som kallar
i den evigt viskande vinden
Lars Winnerbäck - The empty steps (English translation)
A shadow runs along the walls tonight
It's cold and silent
You've seen it in the corner of your eye before
as you walked those empty steps
You've seen it pass
and make the night so peculiar
You know that reality
isn't always that real
I saw a man laying on a bench and die one night
there wasn't much to do
His friend said: Jesus will take care of you now
but he could neither see nor hear
The moon shone in the fjorde
The purest water of the Nordic countries
A blanket was laid over the body
then we slowly went homewards in the night
Have you walked those empty steps
along the channels of anxiety
Have you thrown a few rocks out into the abyss
and seen them tumbling down in spirals
It's locked by the gate
to the desolate shore
There's a guard by the gate
he's out for blood
I know someone who's seen more than mostLars Winnerbäck - Dom Tomma Stegen - http://motolyrics.com/lars-winnerback/dom-tomma-stegen-lyrics-english-translation.html
someone who's never seen what he's got here
He says he's been in Hell and turned
I think a part of him was left there
now he's outside of this world
Seen through and bitter
he walks those empty steps
beneath the birds' cheerful twittering
They found a body down by the water today
it must have laid there all night
A bullet hole right through the chest
the lungs filled with water
Did someone silence the roar
Was it worth the trouble
you feel the guilt and shame
even though you never held the rifle
I believe in the pigeon who knows where it's going
I believe in goodness and improvement
I am a boat of bark
Which drifts between branches and rocks
and a moth is my crew
No guards by the gate
No locks on the gate
Only the voice calling
in the eternally whispering wind
